Introduction to Smart Areas™
Smart Areas is 2GIG’s partitioning solution. Partitioning is the process of dividing security sections of a home or building into smaller areas so
that users can arm some sections of the house while leaving other areas disarmed. This provides home and building owners both security and
convenience, as it allows them to walk through their structure without concern of tripping alarms for areas they’d like to keep secure and armed.
Some examples of partitioning use cases include:
»Arming a section of a room that contains a safe that contains gun collections or valuables. These areas may not be accessed as
frequently as the other areas in the room.
»Having a portion of the home designated for use by others, such as guests or property rentals. Partitioning enables the homeowner to arm
some sections of the house they’d like to be ‘off limits’ to other people.
»Disarming the garage while the homeowner is at work to allow a package to be delivered and stored safely on the premises.
»Secure swimming pool or spa area to help reduce the risk of drowning accidents. In California, it is now required that newly-built pools
and spas include at least one safety measure, including an alarm.
Smart Areas was designed for ease of setup and everyday use. For installation, the process for adding device enrollments has been simplied. All
smart area parameters are displayed on the screen for quick scanning. This reduces time for the installer, who with legacy partitioning systems
would have to memorize the codes and work ow, in addition to working through each parameter in a list to verify them. With the addition of
Smart Areas, the 2GIG EDGE panel becomes a self-contained partitioning panel, complete with user interface, controller, wireless transceiver, and
communicator (cell radio and/or Wi-Fi) all-in-one package. This reduces complexity for the installer. All of the equipment is self-contained; there
are no modules that require additional set up procedures.
For the end user, Smart Areas is a one-touch solution that provides Global System Access. They can now access any partition/Smart Area with
appropriate authorization. ‘Arm/Disarm’ and ‘Emergency/Panic’ functions can be accessed quickly. No matter where in the menu a user nds
themselves, all they need to do is press the ‘Home’ button and they immediately return to the ‘Arm/Disarm’ screen. Past partitioning examples
required users to swipe from screen to screen. This added time, complexity and confusion for the user. The simplied user interface will reduce
confusion and frustration for those who may not interact with their security system every day. With the common tasks up front, it’s easy to select
without having to memorize.

accessories in accordance with the ETL requirements documented in this manual voids its ETL Listed Mark.
Operating Temperature
The recommended storage temperature for the 2GIG EDGE Panel is -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F). For optimal use, operation temperature is 0°C
to 49°C (32°F to 120°F). No altitude range limitations have been reported while transporting the 2GIG EDGE Panel.
PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
Choose the Location for the 2GIG EDGE Panel’s Backplate
Before installing the system, the rst step is to create an installation plan for the premises. Next, determine the mounting location for all system
components, including the 2GIG EDGE Panel and all sensors. If the system includes wired sensors, you will need to connect the wiring to the 2GIG
EDGE Panel’s terminal block.
Recommended Tools and Equipment
To install the system, these tools and equipment are recommended:
»2-Conductor Power Wire (if connecting the 2GIG EDGE Panel’s power supply to the system’s terminal block)
»Drywall Saw (or Equivalent)
»Screwdrivers
»Staple Gun
»Wire Stripper
Choose the Wall Location
When choosing a location for mounting the 2GIG EDGE Panel, work with the end user to determine the best location. See also “Create the
Installation Plan” above. For best results, keep the following items in mind:
»Always choose an indoor location that is protected from temperature extremes.
»Always choose a location that is above ground and centrally located.
»Always choose a location where you can connect the 2GIG EDGE Panel to an unswitched outlet. Do NOT connect the 2GIG EDGE Panel to
a switch-controlled outlet.
»Always choose a location above ground level. Do NOT install the 2GIG EDGE Panel below ground level, as this can impair wireless range.
»Avoid choosing a location that can be easily viewed from doors or windows.
»Avoid choosing a location that is within reach of small children.
»Avoid choosing a location in direct sunlight.

Connect an External Alarm Sounder
The terminal block inside the 2GIG EDGE Panel includes two (2) solid-state bell terminals (BELL+/BELL-) for an external alarm sounder. An external
alarm sounder is typically housed outside of a property, in a location that will attract the most attention, in order to scare unwanted intruders
away with an audible alarm. When choosing a location for the sounder, ensure it is protected from harsh weather (either housed indoors or in a
weatherproof box). It should also be mounted in a location where the siren can be easily heard by occupants.
»If you are installing or replacing a new external sounder: First, install or replace the external sounder in the desired
location. Once in place, route the wiring to the 2GIG EDGE Panel’s terminal block.
»If an external sounder is already installed: First, disconnect power to the external sounder. Ensure Panel is disconnected from
power and battery, then route the sounder’s existing wiring to the 2GIG EDGE Panel’s terminal block.
IMPORTANT: The 2GIG EDGE Panel is designed to connect to Solid-State Relay sounders only. To avoid damage to the output, do NOT
connect an Electromechanical Relay bell to the BELL+ or BELL- position on the 2GIG EDGE Panel’s terminal block. In addition, bell output
is only provided when the 2GIG EDGE Panel’s power supply is connected to an AC power source.
To connect an external alarm sounder to the 2GIG EDGE Panel:
1. Install the sounder in a secure, weatherproof location where it can be easily heard.
2. Disconnect the sounder from its power source.
3. Ensure the 2GIG EDGE Panel is disconnected from both the
AC power source and the backup battery.
4. Route the wiring from the sounder through the back of the
2GIG EDGE Panel’s wiring cutout.
5. Connect the sounder’s wires to the BELL+ and BELL-
positions on the 2GIG EDGE Panel’s terminal block.
6. Connect the Edge battery and AC power source.
NOTE: For sounders with low current consumption, low
current relays, or in the event that the Piezo Sounder
produces a humming sound or noise, install an 820Ω
resistor in parallel with the sounder.

Connect the Hardwire Loops
The 2GIG EDGE Panel supports up to two (2) wired zones. Typically, these zones are used for hardwired Door/Window contact sensors. You rst
install the contact sensors and then route the loop wiring to the 2GIG EDGE Panel. This type of connection is commonly referred to as hardwire
loops.
IMPORTANT: The 2GIG EDGE Panel’s hardwire loops are designed to support contact sensors such as magnetic reed switches or
pressure pads. They are not designed for hardwire smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, motion detectors, or glass break
detectors.
TIP: If you are planning to upgrade the existing wired security system at the home or business to a wireless system or if you have a
need to retrot any pre-wired sensors in newer construction for wireless, you can purchase the 2GIG Hardwire Conversion Kit ( 2GIG-
TAKE-KIT1) .
To install the hardwire loop wiring for the contact sensors:
1. Install the wired contact sensors.
2. Route the contact sensor’s loop wire(s) through the back of the 2GIG EDGE Panel’s wiring cutout.
3. Use the diagram below as a guide for connecting the sensor’s loop wires to the 2GIG EDGE Panel terminal block.
»Normally Closed (N/C): Used for Normally Closed (N/C) circuits. This means the circuit on the contact switch is closed when the
magnets are aligned on the door/window contact. When armed, the 2GIG EDGE Panel activates an alarm signal when it detects that the
door or window is no longer in the normally closed state.
»Normally Open (N/O): Used for Normally Open (N/O) circuits. This means the circuit on the contact switch is open when the magnets
are aligned on the door/window contact. When armed, the 2GIG EDGE Panel activates an alarm signal when it detects that the door or
window is no longer in the normally open state.
»End-of-Line Resistor (EOLR): Used to supervise the sensor for open or short circuit conditions with an End- of-Line Resistor
(EOLR). If EOLR supervision is required, you must install a 2.2 kΩ resistor (not supplied). End of Line Resistors must be installed at the
location in the loop farthest away from the panel. This feature allow for the use of an EOL resistor for existing zones.
NOTE: For compliance with UL 38: Manual Signaling Boxes for Fire Alarm Systems, stranded conductors clamped under wire binding
screws or similar parts shall have the individual strands soldered together or shall be equivalently arranged.
